The influence of source term release parameters on offsite health effects was examined for the YGN 3&4 nuclear power plants. The release parameters considered in this study are release height, heat content, and release time. The effects of core inventory change as a function of fuel burnup was also examined. The health effects by the change of release parameters are early fatalities, cancer fatalities, and early fatality distance. The results showed that early fatalities and early fatality distance decrease as release height increases, although it does not have significant influence on cancer fatalities. The values of both early and late health effects decrease as heat content increases. As release time increases, health consequence shows maximum value in 2 hours of release time and then decreases rapidly. As fuel burnup increases, early fatalities decrease rapidly, while cancer fatalities increase rapidly. Both cases show little variation afterward. Early fatality distance is almost same in all fuel turnup history. The information obtained through this research is very useful in developing strategies for reducing offsite consequences when combined with the influence of weather conditions on offsite risks.

Previous research on online health (e-health) information was primarily focused on consumer information search behavior and information quality. Although studies addressing online information quality have flourished, they have yet to thoroughly examine whether consumers actually use the information they search. The purspose of this study suggests a conceptual framework that examines the potential antecedents of a consumers' willingness to depend on e-health information as an indicator of the consumer's trust of the provided e-health information. The proposed antecedents include healthcare product involvement, online skill level, perceived quality, and credibility of the source. Using structural equation modeling on online survey data, seven hypotheses, which describe the relationships between the variables of the model, were tested. The results indicate that consumer willingness to depend on provided e-health information was significantly influenced by the consumers' perceived quality and credibility of specific e-health information. Consumer involvement in healthcare and their online skill-level, respectively, also positively related to perceived quality and credibility regarding e-health information.

Background: This study examined the effect of having a usual source of care on the degree of patient-centered communication among persons with disability. The role of the usual source of care has been emphasized to improve patient experience, especially for patients with complex health conditions. Methods: This study used the 2017-2018 Korean Health Panel data, and the final study observations were 22,475 (20,806 people without disability and 1,669 people with disability). We applied generalized estimating equation model to show the effect of having a usual source of care on patient-centered communication, and subgroup analysis considering the types and severity of disabilities. Results: Persons who have disabilities, compared with ones without it, significantly had more usual sources of care (32.4% vs. 24.6%). By type of disability, persons with mental (51.4%), internal organ (43.8%), visual (37%), and physical disabilities (31.6%) had more usual sources of care than hearing/speech (26.6%), and developmental disabilities (18.6%). The average score of patient-centered communication was higher among who had a usual sources of care (3.2 vs. 2.7), and the regression analysis showed that having a usual sources of care was positively associated with higher patient-centered communication score (𝛽=0.476, p<0.05). However, the positive effects of usual sources of care was not observed among persons with severe hearing/speech, developmental, and mental disabilities. Conclusion: This study showed that role of patient-centered communication was limited in persons with severe hearing/speech disabilities, developmental, and mental disabilities. The education programs and supports are needed to improve communication skills between medical staff and persons with specific types of disabilities.

본 연구는 한국에 거주하는 이민자의 건강정보 이용실태를 파악하기 위한 서술적 조사연구이다. 서울과 경기도 소재의 '이주노동자 무료 진료소'를 이용하는 이민자 171명을 대상으로 설문 조사하였다. 수집된 자료는 기술통계, Chi-square test, Fisher's exact test로 분석하였다. 이민자의 건강정보 이용빈도는 낮은 편으로 월 1회 미만으로 건강 정보를 이용한다는 응답자가 가장 많았다. 건강정보 이용빈도는 나이가 많거나, 직업이 없거나, 질병이 있는 대상자에서 더 높았다. 주요한 건강정보 출처는 인터넷이었고, 나이와 인터넷 사용 여부에 따라 건강정보 출처에 차이가 있었다. 나이가 증가하거나 인터넷을 사용하지 않은 응답자의 건강정보 출처로 인터넷 사용 비율이 낮았다. 건강정보의 주요한 활용대상자는 본인이었고, 지각된 건강상태가 건강하지 않은 대상자는 본인을 위하여 건강정보를 더 많이 사용하였다. 본 연구의 결과에서처럼 이민자의 대부분이 건강정보를 활발히 사용하지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 나이가 증가하거나 건강하지 못한 경우에는 건강문제를 해결하기 위하여 건강정보 사용이 증가하면서 건강정보의 필요성이 나타났다. 그러므로 이민자의 건강정보 이용 증진과 효과적인 건강정보 제공을 위해서는 대상자의 특성을 고려하여 건강정보를 다양한 방법으로 제공하는 것이 중요하고, 이를 위하여 보건의료의 정책이나 서비스 개발이 필요하다.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to examine health information seeking behavior of people with cancer in terms of information seeking or avoiding behavior and the differences of the two groups in demographic and disease variables. Methods: Data were collected from October 21 to December 5 in 2013 from out-patient clinics of a university affiliated hospital in Suwon, Korea. One hundred (100) patients with cancer were participated in this study. Health Information National Trends Survey Questionnaires (National Cancer Institute, 2007) was used. Results: Three quarters (n=77) of the participants were in health information seeking group while 23% were in health information avoiding group. Participants who were female, higher education were more likely to seek health information than their counter parts. Among participants, a considerable number of cancer patients intentionally avoided information due to either the lack of accessibility of information source or the lack of credibility of information from the sources. Conclusion: Significant differences in gender and educational level were found in the two groups. Different approaches for both groups were necessary to increase information seeking behavior. And barriers of the information avoiding group should be considered in designing interventions to fill the gap between seekers and avoiders.
